We address this Notre Dame issue today, because, although we are nowhere near South Bend, the Irish have a national following, one that certainly exists locally, or enough so that ND will be making their way to Philadelphia for a date against Temple in another two years.

In the meantime, the independent has agreed to a new scheduling agreement with the Miami Hurricanes that will result in a home-and-home series starting in 2016. Before that kicks off, they'll be playing at a semi-neutral locale, Chicago, this season.

So what did Adidas put together for this year's Miami-Notre Dame game at Soldier Field when the Catholics and the Convicts get together for the first time in the regular season since 1990 on Oct. 6 at Soldier Field? [Full pix featuring the Fighting Leprechaun below]

I'm a uni-head. So while there are certain designs I'm very protective of, for the most part, I'm pretty open to "interpretation." In no sport is that more the case than in college football. I love when Nike or Adidas or Under Armour put together totally outlandish jerseys for a team's primetime, Week 1 kick-off, or when two rivals get together for an annual meeting (see in 2011: Georgia-Boise St., Michigan v. Michigan St., Maryland vs. Anybody, etc).

So, yeah, I'm one of the six people on the planet who like these. Then again, I only watch to Notre Dame to see Brian Kelly berate Tommy Rees.

Paul Lukas of Uni-Watch -- the authority on these matters -- is not a fan, nor does it appear is the rest of the online community, with the 60/40 helmet split bearing the brunt of the blame.
